The win means the miners are the only team in the division to have won all their matches so far and remain on top with nine points from three matches.

Tongogara maintained their undefeated start to the campaign with a 3-0 victory over ZRP Gwanda, but they remain second, two points behind the leaders.

Ivan Hoe Mine are level on points with Tongogara after making the most of territorial advantage to dismiss Vumbachikwe 3-2.

Shabanie Mine, seeking to avoid another painful season in the second-tier league, remained close to the leaders with a 2-0 home victory over Gweru United.

The former Castle Lager Premier Soccer League side have now collected six points out of a possible nine.

One of the pre-season favorites for the title, MSU, have been unconvincing in the early stages of the campaign and they were held to a 1-1 stalemate at home by Chrome Stars, recording their second successive draw.
